Is Web Search Still A Feature?

In older versions of RM (i.e. RM7), you could highlight a person in the main index, then click on Web Search. From there you could select a provider and search for the person. I used to have 10 or 12 saved websites to choose from.

Is this feature no longer supported?

Many thanks for your help.

(to whom it may concern)
just remember to change the provider and choose External browser as needed

The custom providers are held in file RootsMagicUser.xml in folder C:\Users{yourusername}\AppData\Roaming\RootsMagic\Version 10 (or which version you use) so get lost when you upgrade.
I’ve got around 20 custom providers because being in the UK I don’t use the provided US sites and you can tailor the URL to be specific to record sets or locations e.g. 1921 census or Devon Parish records.
I recommend keeping a note of the providers you set up and the URL you used so that you can re-create them.

And when you do a RM system reset (CTL+Shift+U) as is sometimes recommended by Tech Support as a Hail Mary fix for a problem.
